The local Public Safety Department (PSD) issued P1, 000 citation tickets to each of the arrested foreigners.
“They were set free after getting citation tickets and stern warning from us. The bar owner and the manager were also given a stern warning,”

The city currently has recorded 233 active cases of COVID-19, based on the report.
